Even This invites readers to make room for daily personal experiences with God. From the very first page readers will walk down a spiritual path meant to remind each of us that God will meet us in the unexpected, bringing his goodness, giving us cause to trust, reminding us of his capacity. Filled with deeply personal stories about holding onto belief, daring to trust, and longing for understanding, Even This chronicles one woman's quest to find God in the everyday moments-with one of the most powerful experiences taking place as she searches for sea shells while walking on the beach-and provides many opportunities for individual introspection. "Yes, God is good and he can be trusted," Freeman concludes, "and it is the daily discovery of these truths that has the potential to become the greatest journey of a life and lead us closer to him."Ultimately, the author hopes Even This will encourage and motivate listeners to stop letting fear dictate the depth of your belief through simple daily reflections that will restore your confidence in God, let go of your need to control by discovering what is holding you back from being completely vulnerable in your relationship with God, diminish the power of doubt by coming to understand why the place of deepest asking is where the believing begins, andlearn how to trust that God may have something entirely different in mind than you could ever anticipate-something bette

Rediscover the parable of the Ten Virgins with a unique and enthralling presentation that provides a personal, latter-day perspective to the classic New Testament story. In this beautifully illustrated volume, featuring all-new art by Simon Dewey, each of the Ten Virgins from the biblical account is given an identity and an individual story. Each is portrayed with a positive quality or virtue that would be characteristic of a wise virgin. But as their stories unfold and the struggles of their daily lives are revealed, each woman makes choices that ultimately determine whether she will be one of the five who are prepared with lamps trimmed and burning at the coming of the Bridegroom. With an effective blend of scripture and narrative, this expanded, illustrated treatment of the well-known parable allows readers to relate to the actions and motives of the Ten Virgins in a new way.

21 Days Closer to Christ

The path to discipleship is an individual process, a deeper journey than simply coming closer to the Lord. It is a process that takes us from where we are to where we want to be. For those who desire to become a true disciple of Christ, the journey includes honest seeking, a willing heart, and the realization that it is never too late to become the person the Lord knows we can be. In this unique book, author Emily Freeman outlines a pattern of discipleship divided into twelve areas of focus, each containing invitations for personal growth, inspired counsel from prophets and apostles, and suggested scriptures to help us focus our efforts. As we follow this pattern, we come to understand that the process of discipleship transforms and defines us. We become something more. Something better. We become His.

If you have ever found the Old Testament intimidating, you are not alone. The less-familiar history, themes, and language, coupled with the length of the book, make it a difficult read for many. But author Emily Freeman loves the Old Testament, and as she shares some of the wonderful things she has learned in her study of this book of scripture, you will find yourself coming to love it too. Written on Our Hearts is not a commentary or an intensive doctrinal study. Instead, Emily writes about the stories of the Old Testament, stories of trusting and overcoming and enduring and believing. Within these stories are all kinds of applications for the challenges we face today. There will come a moment in your life, the author says, when you or someone you love will struggle with a challenge so great you will wonder how you will make it through. In that moment you will long to better understand the Savior's role as the Deliverer, and to do that you must go to the book of scripture that describes that role the best the Old Testament. Discover the delivering power of the Lord yourself in the pages of this book and experience the scriptures in a new, more personal way!
